Govaert wrote her first songs on her piano at age 12. She graduated from the Dutch Rockacademy in Tilburg. Prior to that, she had started the band Krezip in high school. In 1997, Krezip started playing on various events, such as Lowlands. The band released their first EP in 1999; it was an independent release. In 2000, the band was finally signed by Warner Music and released their first LP, gaining considerable success that continued until the band disbanded in 2009.
Govaert was the band's main songwriter. She was the band's pianist as well, until guitarist Annelies Kuijsters was forced to take over this position.
She has served as a featured artist on tracks of the music project Ayreon, Dutch band Relax (on the album Odeur de Clochard), Armin van Buuren and Fernando Lameirinhas.
In 2006, Govaert contributed on a theme song for the TMF Awards of 2006. For this song, she collaborated with Dutch bands The Partysquad, Extince and Caprice. They performed the song at the opening of the 2006 TMF Awards.
After quitting Krezip, Govaert announced that she would now be pursuing a music career. She released her debut solo album, Good Life, in August 2010. The first single Overrated is a hit song at the moment.
